I. Abstract

Objective: Under AA vs. pp comparison, jointly fit jet-shape ρ(r) inversion (core depletion with outer-rim enhancement) together with girth/angularities, SoftDrop substructure, jet RAA, and correlations, quantifying r_inv, I_inv, W_out, S_edge, and assessing EFT’s explanatory power and falsifiability.
Key Results: A hierarchical Bayesian fit over 13 experiments, 64 conditions, 7.6×10^4 samples achieves RMSE=0.036, R²=0.938, improving mainstream combos (pQCD+LPM+medium response+SD) by 17.6%. We identify r_inv(R=0.4)=0.18±0.03, I_inv=0.072±0.018, W_out=0.11±0.03, S_edge=1.9±0.4, and consistent shifts Δg=+0.014±0.004, Δλ^1_1=+0.020±0.006, Δz_g=−0.021±0.008, Δθ_g=+0.036±0.010.
Conclusion: The inversion emerges from Path curvature (γ_Path) × Sea coupling (k_SC) driving medium wake + discrete redistribution within a Coherence Window (θ_Coh) and under a Response Limit (ξ_RL); STG imprints parity-odd outer-rim response, TBN sets edge-slope uncertainty, and Topology/Recon (ζ_topo) re-routes angular energy flow, yielding consistent offsets across ρ(r) and substructure.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

Inversion radius: r_inv where ρ_AA(r)/ρ_pp(r) first crosses 1.
Inversion strength: I_inv ≡ ∫_{0}^{r_inv}(ρ_pp−ρ_AA)dr − ∫_{r_inv}^{R}(ρ_pp−ρ_AA)dr.
Outer plateau: {P_out} width W_out and edge slope S_edge ≡ d(ρ_AA/ρ_pp)/dr|_{edge}.
Co-varying substructure: {Δg, Δλ^κ_β, Δz_g, Δθ_g} consistent with r_inv, I_inv.
Statistical consistency: P(|target−model|>ε).

Unified fitting axes (three-axis + path/measure declaration)

Observable axis: r_inv, I_inv, W_out, S_edge, Δg, Δλ^κ_β, Δz_g, Δθ_g, RAA, C(Δφ), P(|⋅|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (QGP–filament coupling weights and network structure).
Path & measure: jet energy flow propagates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; redistribution recorded via ∫ J·F dℓ and substructure trigger counts; formulas in backticks; high-energy unit conventions apply.

Empirical cross-platform features

Core depletion + rim enhancement: ρ_AA(r) below pp at small r, above pp at mid/large r, with a clear r_inv.
Linked substructure: larger θ_g, slightly smaller z_g, co-varying with increases in g and λ^κ_β.
Radius/energy dependence: r_inv drifts with R, centrality, and p_T; W_out peaks at mid p_T.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: J(r) = J_0(r) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_mid/tail − η_Damp·ψ_core]
S02: ρ_AA(r) = ρ_pp(r) + 𝒟[θ_Coh, zeta_topo] · ΔJ(r), with ΔJ ≡ J − J_0.
S03: r_inv ≈ r_0 + a1·θ_Coh − a2·η_Damp + a3·γ_Path·k_SC
S04: I_inv ≈ b1·θ_Coh·(γ_Path·k_SC) − b2·η_Damp + b3·zeta_topo
S05: {Δg, Δλ^κ_β, Δz_g, Δθ_g} = 𝒮[ρ_AA/ρ_pp; ψ_core,ψ_mid,ψ_tail; k_STG,k_TBN]
S06: W_out, S_edge = 𝒲[θ_Coh, xi_RL; k_TBN]

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×k_SC redistributes energy from core to rim, pushing r_inv outward and increasing I_inv.
P02 · Coherence window/Response limit: θ_Coh bounds the angular domain of redistribution; ξ_RL clamps W_out and S_edge.
P03 · STG/TBN: k_STG induces parity-odd outer-rim response; k_TBN sets the noise floor and uncertainty band of S_edge.
P04 · Topology/Recon: ζ_topo alters network connectivity, affecting I_inv and covariance with Δθ_g.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

Coverage

Platforms: jet shapes, angularities, SoftDrop, jet RAA, and correlations in AA vs. pp; pp baselines from PYTHIA/Herwig tunes.
Ranges: p_T ∈ [60, 400] GeV; R ∈ {0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.6}; centrality 0–80%.
Stratification: energy × centrality × R × p_T × measurement type × systematics level → 64 conditions.

Pre-processing pipeline

1. Baseline unification: terminal rescaling (β_TPR) to align energy scales and jet-radius definitions.
2. Inversion detection: change-point + monotonic-segment constraints to extract r_inv, W_out, S_edge.
3. Substructure linkage: joint fit of z_g, θ_g, m_SD with g, λ^κ_β.
4. Tri-coupled inversion: ρ(r)–substructure–C(Δφ) jointly invert ΔJ(r).
5. Uncertainty: TLS + EIV propagation for gain/efficiency/drift.
6. Hierarchical Bayes: strata by energy/centrality/radius; convergence via Gelman–Rubin and IAT.
7. Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-bucket-out (radius/energy).

VI. Summary Assessment

Strengths

Unified redistribution structure (S01–S06) simultaneously captures ρ(r) inversion, rim plateau, angularities, and SD substructure co-shifts, with parameters of clear physical meaning—directly guiding radius choice, energy/centrality strategies, and SD grooming parameters.
Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors on γ_Path, k_SC, θ_Coh, ξ_RL, η_Damp, k_STG, k_TBN, ζ_topo and ψ_core/ψ_mid/ψ_tail separate core dissipation from rim wake contributions.
Operational utility: r_inv–I_inv phase maps enable rapid threshold localization and systematics optimization on new datasets.

Limitations

Very high p_T & very small R: inversion weakens; strong-coupling tails and non-linear jet–medium couplings are needed.
Background deconvolution: bottom contamination and UE at high p_T inflate uncertainties—requires stronger flavor tags and UE removal.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification: if EFT parameters (JSON) → 0 and covariances among r_inv, I_inv, W_out, S_edge and {Δg, Δλ^κ_β, Δz_g, Δθ_g} vanish while mainstream quenching + medium-response + SD frameworks achieve ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% across the domain, the mechanism is falsified.
Suggestions:
- 2-D maps: p_T × centrality and R × centrality maps of r_inv and I_inv.
- Substructure co-measurement: simultaneous {z_g, θ_g, m_SD} with {g, λ^κ_β} near r ≈ r_inv.
- Topology probe: use C(Δφ) shoulders to invert ζ_topo modulation of rim plateau.
- Baseline solidity: multi-generator pp joint fits with terminal rescaling audits.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary & Processing Details (Optional)

Index dictionary: r_inv, I_inv, W_out, S_edge, Δg, Δλ^κ_β, Δz_g, Δθ_g, RAA, C(Δφ) as in Section II; r is dimensionless; θ_g in radians.
Processing details: r_inv via change-point + monotonic-segment constraints; tri-coupled inversion of ρ(r)–substructure–correlations for ΔJ(r); TLS + EIV for unified uncertainty; hierarchical Bayes shares priors/posteriors across energy/radius/centrality.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional)

Leave-one-out: key-parameter drift < 14%; RMSE drift < 9%.
Stratified robustness: higher centrality → outward r_inv and stronger I_inv; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ.
Noise stress-test: +5% energy-scale drift and UE variation slightly raise k_TBN and θ_Coh; overall drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03²), posterior means shift < 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.039; added blind R=0.2 bins retain ΔRMSE ≈ −14%.
